Macaroni Kid Cedar Falls - Waterloo: 2024 Summer Camp and Class Guide

Find Your Summer Family Fun!

By Celia Even, Publisher Mom for Macaroni Kid Cedar Falls-Waterloo April 6, 2024

Your Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and surrounding Cedar Valley area Summer Camp and Activities Guide is here!

Macaroni Kid Cedar Falls-Waterloo reaches thousands of families in Eastern Iowa each week - with that number growing every day. We are proud to offer parents a free, one-stop-shop filled with all the events and activities that the Cedar Valley has to offer. After having numerous parents ask us about seasonal camp options, we decided to create a yearly resource for parents where they can see the best of what is available and feel confident about where they spend their money and send their children.

Be sure to check back often as camps will be continually added throughout the Spring and Summer. We hope that you find our guide to be a valuable resource as you plan your children's adventures this summer. As always, please call ahead before visiting any event or venue as things can change without our knowledge.
